Turn in E-waste, Shredding, Appliances at Donation & Recycling Day

Residents who missed their chance during the Spring to clean out their closets, garage and office files will have another opportunity during Donation & Recycle Day on Saturday, June 20 (10:00 am – 1:00 pm) at Big Saver Foods on East 7th Street.

Vice Mayor Suja Lowenthal and Goodwill SOLAC have teamed up for nine years to offer residents a quick and easy way to donate gently used clothing and other items for a good cause – providing individuals with training and tools for employment. In addition, Goodwill SOLAC will be accepting residential electronic waste. Council District 2 will also be offering residents free on-site shredding services through Goodwill of Orange County.

Long Beach Environmental Services Bureau will be on hand to accept bulk items and large appliances and residents are encouraged to donate their old cell phones to Interval House Crisis Center to help battered spouses and children. Finally, District 2 will be accepting used household batteries.
